Some thoughts on New Year’s Day
One One Eleven
It’s twenty eleven, almost January two
And I’m contemplating just what I should do
With the three sixty five that before me lay
How to maximize life in each of those days ~
New Year’s resolutions so often fail ~
They’re about deprivation that puts us in jail ~
Invisible bars that exist just the same
As we handcuff ourselves, our desires we tame ~
Rather than damper the spirit within
We should feed and inspire what brings us a grin ~
Don’t take away from what we already are
But expand what we have like a shooting star ~
Embellish the things that about us are good ~
Give up the words would, should and could ~
Step confidently on our path each day
With our high beams on to light the way ~
Be the Love that you wish to receive ~
Take a chance and wear your heart on your sleeve ~
Bless everything with Truth and Light ~
Filled with Joy, let your soul take flight ~~~
